Saturday, March 26/16 - On the Road!

The next morning we were up and on the road by 8:30. We had a quick stop at Winco and Rite Aid to pick up essentials and heading south on the I-5 by 10:00 AM. I plugged in the 12V. slow cooker and started a wonderful smelling Chili cooking.

CHILI!

We kept up a steady pace all day, wanting to put as many miles on to get to the warmth of Sunny California ASAP. We stopped for dinner - Chili and fresh cheese buns - in Eugene,Or. and spent the night in a rest stop between Medford and Ashland, Oregon.

Holidays once again! March 25/16

Dale started his two weeks holidays so as soon as he got home we started out about 3:00PM. We passed the LOOOOONG 70 minute border lineup and went into the duty free. As we got out of the Navion to go in, I checked the license plate number to confirm it and saw that someone (I won’t mention any names) had forgotten to put the new sticker on. When I asked him where it was he said “on the counter at home with the newly renewed insurance papers”. We had to get the security guard to let us out a back gate as it’s only one way from the duty free. Home we went to grab the papers and put the sticker on.  Good thing we’re only 10 minutes from the border. Back to the duty free and over the border at about 4:30PM - only a ten minute wait now most of the traffic had passed. We drove straight to Tulalip, a quick swim and an early night for an early start the next day.
